I was thinking...

AK74Ms are said to be cheaper to manufacture no?

If so, why the f*** are we still using AK74s with wood furniture? When we could be using the 74Ms that offer more versatility???

Why not buy rifles from Russia's reserves?? We would only need like, 80-90 thousand..Perhaps we might see them in 2015??? I know there isnt a huge difference between the two, but it just seems smarter to have the 74Ms...

I will take the wood furniture over the synthetic everytime (maybe I am a purist).....you want folded stock then nothing like an underfolder (with wood grip and front upper and lower). The M model does have some improvements (easier grenade launcher, thicker dust cover, some minor internal change, and US style picatinny rails on some).

The wood gives the AK its soul and character since its unique and alive.....the black its for tacticool guys.

Its not about looking tacticool or traditional in the end, its about whats best for the soldiers on the ground, and what they would prefer..Its really not much. If the M has improvements and no cons then why even keep the wood furniture versions around? It wouldn't really cost much, depending on the deal Moscow is willing to accept...Besides, if we were to manufacture our own, wood wouldn't be the way to go..synthetic, I believe, would be cheaper.
What Armenia needs to do is slowly build up and create a Ministry of Defense Industry to rival Azerbaijan, and manufacture AK-74Ms under license. Maybe even some K-3s instead???

I saw in an article, that this was proposed to the government, and was being considered. We have the ideas and designers, we just need to get the factories and machines...Tacticool and unnecessary gear would be, stuff like tactical gloves and glasses. Its just not necessary.



Black isn't for the tacticool guys, black is for the professionals

Some articles on the defense industry: http://en.ria.ru/military_news/20130...s--------.html

"With the adoption of this program, we are taking an important step to neutralize all possible military threats to Armenia's security," the secretary of the National Security Council, Artur Baghdasarian, said on December 13. "Yerevan will not only get hold of modern armaments but also develop the domestic defense industry."

Seems as if they were either bluffing, or just couldn't properly allocate the funds for the projects within the still progressing modernization time frame, already 4 years in. (1-2 more years to go)

One thing about side folding syntactic stocks that I have heard is that they do not make a good hammer.....with the wood you can break rocks or.....no problem.

Also when side folded (even wood) it gets in the way of te trigger a little for right handed people because the AK was designed for us lefties
